(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) - The seventh-ranked Carnegie Mellon University men's tennis team defeated previously unbeaten and 20th-ranked Johns Hopkins University, 5-4, on Sunday, April 9 at home. The Tartans improved to 15-7 on the year while the Blue Jays fell to 7-1.

Johns Hopkins held a 2-1 lead after doubles play with the No. 3 pair of senior Kenny Zheng (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley Central) and freshman Michael Rozenvasser (Haworth, N.J./Northern Valley Regional) winning 8-5 for the Tartans.

The Tartans earned the first singles point after Mike Buxbaum had to retire at first singles due to an injury.

Johns Hopkins went back up one when Jeremy Dubin outlasted Rozenvasser in three sets at second singles.
